About Angular (https://Wikipedia.org, https://angular.io) :
Angular is a TypeScript-based, free, open-source, web application development framework from both Google and a community of individuals and corporations. As a platform, Angular includes:
• A component-based framework for building scalable web applications
• A collection of well-integrated libraries that cover a wide variety of features
• A suite of developer tools to help you develop, build, test, and update your code
• NOT Angular JS – Angular is a complete rewrite from the same team that built the now deprecated AngularJS.
